Hollie Doyle strikes in Riyadh on True Self

Mullins’ globetrotter outdoes American star in Neom Turf Cup.
Hollie Doyle broke American hearts when bringing Willie Mullins’ True Self with a tremendous late run to take the Neom Turf Cup in Riyadh. Britain’s record-breaking female jockey produced True Self to collar long-time leader Channel Maker close home and lift the GBP 437,956 first prize. Bill Mott’s Channel Maker, a close third in the Breeders’ Cup Turf, looked like he had the race in the bag when he slipped the field at the top of straight after soaring past long-time leader For The Top.What a ride by @HollieDoyle1!
TRUE SELF takes the first and wins The @NEOM Turf Cup!
